Go Buy Some Apples


Apples are the most boring fruit out there. Compare one to a kiwi or a pineapple and it’s like ho-hum. Ubiquitous and present in every boring buffet, free lunch and hospital bed dinner, the apple is that fruit you leave on your desk for a week only to take a bite after it’s become grainy. Yuck.
Slap some into a pie dough with streusel topping and you’ll have my attention otherwise pass me a peach.

But then there is apple season. I bought one at Whole Foods, a.k.a., Whole Paycheck, the other day for an astonishing 12 cents. Let me tell you this piece of fruit was so crisp and juicy that I began to croon like it was a GD filet mignon smothered in mushrooms.

Since that day I have had an apple with every lunch and I suggest you do the same. Indulge yourself in a different way by actually taking the time to cut it into portions and remove the seeds. You’ll swear it’s better than Snikers.

  1. How is it that you got a 12-cent apple at Whole Paycheck? Tres' Impossible!

  2. I like apples, especially baked or as fruit fillings. However, since bringing home 20lbs of Fuji apples from the North Georgia Mountains, and doing my very best not to waste any of those precious apples. I have found a fondness for just eating them. A perfect anytime food.

    P.S. I saw your recommendation for Joe's Shanghai resturant. Sorry. I would have loved to try it. I saw your comment on our last day and there was no time left :-( We are planning to return to NYC. No matter how often we visit, we walk, we ride subways, experience the neighborhoods....we just can't seem to make a dent in that place. We love NYC.

  3. Lol...nice Devon. BTW, Honey Crisps are the best apple out there. Make sure you try one...though it won't cost 12 cents...more like $1.20 but worth it.

FOOD IS ONE OF THE MOST VISCERAL ASPECTS OF A CULTURE; IT CAN BE EXPERIENCED WITH NO LANGUAGE SKILLS, NO GUIDE, AND MOST TIMES WITH VERY LITTLE MONEY.
